Hey Everyone, I am debating between UCSF and Midwestern. UCSF has the name recognition that is useful for apply for specialization and for jobs in academia. San Francisco city is super beautiful and offers so much to do. dental program is okay. it is not the strongest clinically. their...

Hi everyone, I am currently interviewing and leaning towards UCSF and Mayo Clinic as top choices but I still don't know which to rank first. I am wondering if anyone with more info may be able to comment here. I know UCSF is highly ranked (7th in country it appears) but Mayo Clinic is ranked...

I could not find a thread for UCSF so I wanted to start one, I am assuming since they are a three year curriculum now the class is the same as last years threads. I applied November 2017. Has anyone gotten interview invites yet?!

Hello everyone! This is my first post so I'm hoping I'm doing this right lol I'm freaking out right about now. I thought I submitted everything to PharmCAS on time by the November 1st deadline. I requested all 4 of my transcripts at the end of September. It turns out one of them was placed on...

HI. I just interviews at ucsf and now my status and AADSAS application changed from”invited for interview” to “received/under review”. Is this normal/happened to everyone who interviewed? Thank you

Hey guys, I am still in the process of finishing my supplemental essays for UCSF/SFSU DPT but on PTCAS it says the due date it October 2 and 11:59, on the SFSU DPT website it says October 1 at 11:59, and on the UCSF website it says October 3 at 11:59. Does anyone know which date is the correct...

If you went to UCSF or UOP or had friends who went to either of those dental schools, where did you/they live??

Hi guys! I just want to get a discussion going about some of the top dental schools (UCLA, UCSF, Michigan, Harvard, Columbia, Penn, etc), and I would love to hear some of the experiences from actual dental students from each school, or anyone who is knowledgeable in this area. Basically, what...

I have a bunch of offers but idk where to go. They're all stupidly expensive due to the fact i'm an international student from Canada. But I guess i'd appreciate some insight from alumni or current students attending each university. I'm most leaning towards Stanford or UCSF right now. NYU...

Never mind, please disregard this post.

Hey Everyone! I was recently accepted into the UCSF MSBI program and am trying to decide if I want to go. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the program. If so, how difficult were the classes? Was it hard to make good grades? Any info that you might have to share would be great...

Hi! Would really love to hear some outside opinions on this. Feeling very unclear from my vantage... I should mention that I'm a non-traditional student and that I can work in either country. UCSF Pros: +California +Near my husband's family and friends +Great school with a lot of prestige...

Hi! I have until Thursday to decide between UCSF and Cornell, money and location aside, are there any compelling reasons that would lead you to definitively pick one over the other? Thanks so much for your thoughts!

Hi! I'm trying to decide between UCSF and Cornell, and would love to hear some informed opinions. I'm on the older end of things, and am looking for a program that doesn't feel too much like undergrad/academic summer camp. Thanks so much for your thoughts!

Hi all, I am fortunate to be in the position to choose between these great programs. I would like some advice in picking between these programs/institutions. I am originally from SoCal, so staying in state is preferable, but not a deal breaker and I am willing to go anywhere in the US for my...

Money is important, prestige is a bit important, non-competitive environment is important. being close to New England is important UCSF MD only (Full + COA) Pros Great location (NorCal) Ranked top 5 in research and primary care = top notch, well-rounded education COA is covered on top of...

I've been fortunate enough to be accepted to several schools and have narrowed it down to Tufts and UCSF (unless I get off UF waitlist). I have a feeling everyone will rush to say UCSF but first let me give some background information. UCSF tuition is approx $90,000 cheaper which is significant...

Just thought I'd make a forum to see when people start to hear back from these post baccs !

Hello, I received an invitation for interview weekend at UCSF for the class of 2017 and was wondering who else has as well and if anyone out there is currently a DPT student who remembers the process? Just trying to figure out how to prepare and what questions they will ask. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to start this forum for all of us applying this cycle.

Anyone have any thoughts on why the UCSF JMP Program seems to have such low matching numbers into Surgery programs (http://sph.berkeley.edu/jmp/residency-matches). Only 8 individuals matched into surgery in 17 years!! Is that because it's harder to do/get research while learning at UCB in the...

In a few years I plan on applying to these schools: UCLA, UCSF, NYU, UPenn, Columbia, USC, Boston University, Harvard, University of Maryland, University of Illinois, University of North Carolina. Looking at the USC threads I can infer that it's heavily based around PBL. Do you guys know if the...

As a TX resident with solid stats and decent EC's, is it worth it to apply to out of state schools? I've been told my stats are good enough for any school (I know I'd still be lucky to get into a top school because this whole process is crazy) and my EC's are average for a med school applicant...

Greetings; I am getting started a little later than most of you pharmacy students, but "life happened" and I am just getting back into school. I'm almost 30 and starting my pre-pharmacy curriculum. I was a board certified pharmacy technician in 2007 but never pursued that career. It was...

Hello Everyone, I would love some input on this difficult decision. I am leaning toward CCLCM but I would really like to do residency at a UC if possible... Thanks for you input. UCSF: + Great school for research and clinical + My many friends in the bay area + I am hoping to be back in...

I've taken college algebra (i placed horribly on the placement test), pre-calc, and am taking statistical methods. I received an A in each since math in classes is easy for me so I wouldn't mind taking calc but do I need it? I can only take it in summer to fit it in my schedule and it's costing...
